I am not convinced that having new 'copy' on the button label is sufficient. It's pretty in-your-face marketing for Ubuntu One file sharing which goes further than previous releases have. Yes I could choose not to use Ubuntu One, but jeez that bar is gonna remind me of that decision every single time I open my file browser. That's going to get old pretty quick! It's a big fat waste of vertical space.

It's also pretty annoying to accidentally smack that button when you're in (for example) /home/alan/Dropbox where you might have this much data:-

alan@revo:~$ du -hs Dropbox/
3.5G Dropbox/

Instant overage on Ubuntu One, (well, I say "instant" :) ) I pressed it by accident and had one of those "Oh my god I've done something irreversible" moments which gave me that sinking feeling that I'd not be able to undo this easily (much the same feeling as doing an rm on something important).

Can we please make it easy to disable the entire bar, and furthermore provide a simple facility to undo the button press - and no, running "u1sdtool --foo-bar-baz" is not an option :)
